[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The disappointment issue is a real problem for some personalities. My DD will hear from the school she has wanted to go to for years (that is a very likely/target school) on the same day as a long reach that she doesn’t care much about. Getting rejected or deferred from the reach is totally going to take away the joy from getting into the school she actually really likes.

Kind of wishing she had’t applied to the reach…plus its two supplementals took up a lot of her time. [/quote]

Or not.

My kid didn’t take any of those personally.  But since end of junior year we stressed it’s not personal.  Thousands of kids have similar stats and there aren’t enough seats.  It is a lottery to some degree for top 10.

He ended up getting in RD to an Ivy that I thought he didn’t care about. He always said he wanted a different T20. He was so excited and I asked why he never expressed strong interest before and he said “I did t think I’d actually get in!”  The other reach rejections were not emotional at all—even before he got the good news.
